Just because he is a Christian singer doesn't mean he can't sing this. Does that mean because I'm a Christian, I can ONLY listen to Christian music? No....
Honestly, I wasn't in the best mood before I ACCIDENTALLY clicked on this song. It litterally forced a smile out of me and that's what I appreciate about Chris August.
Thanks, it's kinda weird that that picture was there at that moment of the song...I thought it was his boyfriend or something hahah and thanks for posting this, it's awesome :D
Spirituality debates on youtube are like the special Olympics, no matter who wins, you're still retarded... quit pretending to no more than you do and appreciate the music of people who have found contentment in their faith. What dick would want to ruin that? Just be happy for them and hope that someday maybe you'll find contentment in something too. I look to God, and although I believe he accepts everyone, I recognize the fact that not everyone accepts him...
@chercherchercher ...you were denied into the military weren't you? it's okay... some people are just inferior. so enjoy your pathetic life while people like my wife and I protect this nation.
@chercherchercher ...definitely something an ignorant little child would say. go play MW3 in your underwear because that's all you will be ever remembered as. "the guy who played MW3 in his underwear"
@chercherchercher another ignorant comment. i'm not black and why would race have anything to do with this? your comments definitely tell a lot about you and it's sad really.
@chercherchercher ...the story of your life? oh wait... there's no state that allows blow up doll marriages. it's okay chercher... you have to get yours somehow right? i won't judge nor do i think anyone else on here will.
@chercherchercher ...is that all you got? what happened? your xbox live subscription got cancelled because your job at the local grocery store as a bag handler can't pay for it... i guess trolling is the next best thing right?
na i disagree fully, if you wanna sing for God and of course feel as if God has given you a gift of singing then you have to sing for him, nothing else, thats just like katy perry being a christian singing christian songs bla bla bla but as soon as celebs heard her singing and asked her to sing different songs, what did she do? dont needa answer that myself but look at her now... FAR FROM A CHRISTIAN.. defo think if youre a christian and youve got a voice then use it for the RIGHT REASONS
@mskrissypop Yeah well that was her choice. By singing christian songs it doesn't make you a christian. Believing does. Yeah, God gave her a gift but he also gave her free will and using her free will she chose to sing other songs. About boys and sex and having fun. So what? And 'far from a christian' you don't know her so you can't really judge how 'christian' she is. Don't act like you know everything and everybody.
Whatever, I'm just here to listen to this awesome song, not to start a fight.
THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL SONGS THAT I HAVE HEARD IN A VERY VERY LONG TIME! I CANT STOP HITTING REPLAY:-) IT SOUNDS SO SWEET INNOCENT AND PURE. IT IS SO GENUINE THAT IT JUST WARMS MY HEART.
You know this guy is great in the eyes of the lord just look at all of his songs.......nothing bad in then so far :) great song x) im going to dedicate it to someone beautifull :)
I love his songs! And those who are arguing about the Christianity in this song... just view this as a non-secular song. It's just another song out there! He has many Christian songs, too! It is not wrong that Chris is expressing himself in a non-godly way! The Bible wants us to be accepting and open-minded, not close-minded and harsh; let's not fall back into another Roman Inquisition!
Well, I see no prob with him singing a love song. Truth be told, if a have a wife (or gf), I do want to dedicate her a beautiful song. If a person with God in his heart can write it, it's a great thing. Take a look at Song of Solomon: Its a book straight up about husband and wife. It even makes sexual references (absolute nothing wrong with that. Its part of the life of married couples) It shows you that it is valid to communicate with your partner in a musical manner. God bless!!
For everybody saying " i thought he was a christian " and all that. he used to be signed to a non christian record station and had jessica simpson's dad as his manager. that's probably when he made this song. Hope that clears things up. And even though this isn't christian it's still an awesome song and doesn't say anything bad in it so quit hating :) God Bless
@TheSquireKing To be honest, I don't think that singing is one of Chris' strengths (to put it politely) and I suspect that it is one of the reasons he came back to singing and selling Christian music. You may say that I'm being judgmental, but the Lord tells me otherwise. By the way, secular music NEVER praises things that God created, and adorned. It either praises things that man created, or praises things that God created, without any acknowledgement of the Lord. --> X <--
@thevaliantcrusader EDIT: There is a great difference between secular music praising things that God created, without any acknowledgment of the Lord, and and praising God Himself.
@thevaliantcrusade Hey guess what? Chris made more secular songs before so don't get your panties in a bunch. You shouldn't just accuse him of being ashamed of his beliefs or anything, goodness.
@EccentricBunny01 No one accused Chris of being ashamed of his beliefs. What I pointed out was that songs are not Christian songs unless they make obvious mention of the Lord, and to market a song as such when it's not is just plain fraud. It doesn't help when you have gullible Christians who will believe anything and everything they see, touch and hear to be of the spirit.
@thevaliantcrusader This song hasn't been advertised as a "christian" song. It doesn't mention the Lord because it wasn't meant to be that kind of song I don't think. Plus there are a lot of songs that don't specifically mention God and can be interpreted in many different ways. Praise songs don't have to say the word God or anything to be a christian song.
@EccentricBunny01 ". . . know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a FRIEND of the world is the ENEMY of God." James 4:4
@thevaliantcrusader That passage of scripture was talking about people that have been lost in sin.
Being attached to the world and loving it is being attached to sin. What I'm talking about is listening to music. if you listen to this song, it doesn't make you a "friend of the world" and an "enemy of God". By the way, way to call everyone who has listened to this song a gullible christian and an enemy of God.
@EccentricBunny01 Is there any where in the scripture that it says that it's befitting of God to sing songs that do not praise Him? I know there are plenty of scriptures that say otherwise.
Perhaps I was a bit blunt in calling people who listen to this song gullible, but there is truth in what I say. Think about it. It has become a sort of epidemic where Christians think that any ol' song is praise-worthy if it is sung by a Christian, even if the song mentions nothing about the Lord.
@EccentricBunny01 When I mentioned gullible, I was not necessarily referring to people who lsiten to THIS song. Try not to be so reaching in your defensiveness. To add to what I was saying, ALL THE TIME I will see comments referring to how so and so is such a wonderful or holy person just because he or she is singing a praise-worthy song, when it is CLEAR that said person is NOT singing the song for its glory, but for the sake of singing in general or the prestige of it.
@thevaliantcrusader Who are to judge if a person is a christian or not? You don't know what anyone's motives are to sing any song unless you actually talk to them and know what they think. If people appreciate an artist or a song they have the right to speak their opinion. Not all of Chris' songs are christian yes, but that doesn't mean he is a bad christian.
@EccentricBunny01 As well as whos to say its not Christian still.. I mean Im not sure if he's married. But God wants us to delight in our spouses. If this is him singing about his wife, all the power to him, God gives us marriage and through it, we have our spouses' love and body.
@thevaliantcrusader I believe this song does praise the Lord. Have you ever read Song of Solomon? Tis is no different... Do you have a job? Is it "secular"? This is no different. Secular jobs are no less pleasing to God than jobs such as missionary work. Everything we as Christians do is to be done as unto the Lord and It is not our place to judge whether Chris August did this unto the Lord or not. And for all we know this song is about God. Maybe Jesus is his Stranger
So very much addicted to this song <3

@EccentricBunny01 When I mentioned gullible, I was not necessarily referring to people who lsiten to THIS song. Try not to be so reaching in your defensiveness. To add to what I was saying, ALL THE TIME I will see comments referring to how so and so is such a wonderful or holy person just because he or she is singing a praise-worthy song, when it is CLEAR that said person is NOT singing the song for its glory, but for the sake of singing in general or the prestige of it.

@thevaliantcrusader Who are to judge if a person is a christian or not? You don't know what anyone's motives are to sing any song unless you actually talk to them and know what they think. If people appreciate an artist or a song they have the right to speak their opinion. Not all of Chris' songs are christian yes, but that doesn't mean he is a bad christian.

@EccentricBunny01 As well as whos to say its not Christian still.. I mean Im not sure if he's married. But God wants us to delight in our spouses. If this is him singing about his wife, all the power to him, God gives us marriage and through it, we have our spouses' love and body.

@thevaliantcrusader I believe this song does praise the Lord. Have you ever read Song of Solomon? Tis is no different... Do you have a job? Is it "secular"? This is no different. Secular jobs are no less pleasing to God than jobs such as missionary work. Everything we as Christians do is to be done as unto the Lord and It is not our place to judge whether Chris August did this unto the Lord or not. And for all we know this song is about God. Maybe Jesus is his Stranger
